Description
The single message in this book is that God calls men and women, old and young first to himself through faith for salvation, and secondly, God calls Christians to perform specific tasks as needs might be. I acknowledge that all Christians render Godly services in what they do. This book recognises that there are situations in which God calls Christians to perform special functions as ordained ministers of the Word and Sacraments, in preaching, teaching, evangelism, and Christian advocacy in the whole marketplace of human interaction. Some tasks into which God calls Christians are long-term while others are short-term. God’s calling is loud and clear. Christians need to be sensitive to the calling of God to keep in step with God’s will in a service one renders.

While the book’s setting is the Methodist Church where Dr. Daniel M’Mutungi and the late Rev. Evangeline served, it is a great resource for Christians irrespective of their denomination. In the midst of the couple’s life’s journey, there are bits and pieces of Church history and moves of God in Kenya. It is well packaged for lay readers; not too heavy on technical theology but full of information to educate.
Dr. M’Mutungi is a great storyteller, humorous yet vulnerable to share the highs and lows of their life together with his wife. In marriage, abroad in the UK and USA, in childlessness, in Church service and in their teaching careers at Daystar University until death did them apart.
It is indeed a daring journey of a clergy couple. I recommend it to all believers in the body of Christ. It is the fulfilment of Paul’s words to Titus in chapter two: Let the old teach the young.
